Chapter 616 Captain's Diary

Since entering the spacecraft control room, Zhou Xiaobo has been fiddling with the spacecraft's integrated control console. With the help of the real-time translation system on the space suit outside the cabin, he can basically read the various sensor readings on the screen and understand the various adjustment options. When Zhou Xiaobo saw a certain adjustment option on the screen, he couldn't help but exclaimed,
"Hey, there's an option to adjust the air composition and atmospheric pressure of the entire ship here on the control console. What do you think? If I adjust the air composition and pressure to be the same as on Earth, then we humans won't have to wear space suits when we come in?"

"You will know after you try to modify it. If the modification is successful, we can build a permanent elevator from the moon base to here, and use this alien spaceship as an underground extension of our moon base."

"The current air ratio and pressure inside the spacecraft should be the most suitable for Nagas to breathe. It would be difficult to make major changes."

Qiao Ruida and Xie Duanyang came up to Zhou Xiaobo and watched him adjust the percentage parameters of various air components to regulate the air composition inside the spacecraft.

"Nitrogen 78%, oxygen 21%, carbon dioxide 0.04%, rare gas 0.9%. The composition of the rare gas in the spacecraft seems to be somewhat different from that on Earth, so it needs to be adjusted. There are also small amounts of water vapor, ozone and other components. Okay, all the settings are complete. Next is the air pressure setting. The Naga people's air pressure unit seems to be completely different from the air pressure unit we humans use. Now it is 553. What should we adjust it to?" Zhou Xiaobo encountered a problem in setting the air pressure. The air pressure units on both sides were completely different, and there was no conversion formula, so he had to ask his two teammates for help.

Qiao Ruida lowered his head and called up the reading of the air pressure sensor on his space suit. After taking a look, he said, "The air pressure reading inside the spacecraft is 0.8 standard atmospheres. Let's assume that the Naga's 553 = 0.8 standard atmospheres, then 1 standard atmosphere is approximately equal to 691. Try setting this value to 691. If it doesn't work, we can modify it."

"691, right? It's set. Now it's time to witness the miracle. Confirm it." The next moment Zhou Xiaobo decisively pressed the confirm button on the small keyboard. A blood-red prompt message box immediately popped up in the middle of the screen. The Naga text on it translated as "Warning, arbitrarily changing the composition of the air in the spacecraft may cause the tribe to suffocate and die. Please operate with caution. If you still want to make changes, please press the confirm button and verify your identity before it will take effect. If you give up the change, please press the return button."

Zhou Xiaobo frowned and pointed at the warning message on the screen and said, "It says here that identity verification is required before the air composition can be modified. We are not Nagas, how can we pass this verification?"

"It's not necessarily that only the Nagas can pass this verification. Maybe the next thing to be verified is a permission password, or an identity chip or something. Don't you see a metal card socket on the console? Maybe it is used to verify identity permissions. Press OK to see what kind of authentication is needed, and then we can think of a way based on the type of verification." Xie Duanyang gave his suggestion. The personal aircraft they brought back to the moon used a small metal card as a key. The socket on the console is about the same size as the socket on the aircraft, which made Xie Duanyang have this association.

Zhou Xiaobo pressed the confirmation button as instructed, and another prompt page popped up, "Please insert your ID card to verify your identity and authority. Only the captain and officers above level nine have the authority to make this modification."

Qiao Ruida and the other two had no idea about the Naga official system, and had no idea how high the rank of this ninth-level official was. It seemed almost impossible for the identity card that was suspected to be of a music practitioner to pass this verification.

"It's not password authentication, it's ID card authentication. It says that the ID card of the captain or an officer above level nine is needed to pass the authentication. What should we do now? We have explored the entire spacecraft and haven't seen any alien remains. Where can we find the ID card needed for authentication?"

"The whereabouts of the Nagas are unknown. They may have died due to the passage of time, or they may have fled to Earth. It is extremely difficult to find the identity card of an ordinary crew member, let alone the captain or an officer."

"Let's look on the 28th floor. Maybe a miracle will happen there."

In order to obtain the permission and modify the air ratio in the alien spacecraft, Qiao Ruida and his two companions searched the entire 28th floor. In the end, Qiao Ruida, with the help of analysis skills, found a hidden compartment in the cockpit of the spacecraft, which contained a metal card the size of a USB flash drive and several metal books. The cover was written in Naga language, "Captain's Diary (XXX-XXX Year of the Starfall Calendar)". The words marked on each book were the same, only the years at the end were different.

"I found the identification card. It was probably left by the captain back then." Qiao Ruida turned on the communicator and called Zhou Xiaobo and Xie Duanyang over.

"Oh, where did you find it? How do you know it's the captain's ID card?" Zhou Xiaobo pushed open the door of the cockpit, walked in and asked.

"I found a secret storage compartment under the astronomical device, which contained several captain's diaries and this identity card. It was placed on top of those captain's diaries. I guess it should have been left by the last captain." Qiao Ruida picked up several heavy metal books and showed them to his two companions.

Zhou Xiaobo immediately saw the small metal card on the book, took it in his hand and examined it carefully, "Didiru Morgan, is this the captain's name? Why does it look similar to the names of people in Western countries on Earth?"

"They are all transliterated names. There is no similarity between them. They just have similar pronunciations."

Xie Duanyang was not very interested in the ID card. He picked up a captain's diary and studied it carefully. "Wow, these books are actually made of paper made of some kind of metal. No wonder they can be preserved for tens of thousands of years without oxidation or decay." The expert team in remote assistance also made their voices heard at this moment.
"It's great that you found well-preserved books and materials on the alien spacecraft! Show us what books there are."

"Captain's diary, so many and so thick, let me count, there are fifteen in total, recording the years from the first year of the Starfall Calendar to the 5328th year of the Starfall Calendar. These are good things. I think from these diaries, we can learn a lot about this alien spaceship and their escape route back then, as well as what happened during the escape."

"It's hard to imagine that after the fall of the Naga people's home planet, they just fled between the stars for more than 5,000 years, which is even longer than the history of humans on Earth, which has written records."

"From the information we have now, the Naga people do not have the technology to fly faster than the speed of light. Even if their spaceships can reach a quarter of the speed of light, they can't travel very far in five thousand years."

"These captain's diaries must be packed up and brought back. They are important historical materials for studying the history of the Naga people's escape."

After finding the captain's ID badge, Qiao Ruida and the other two returned to the control hall of the spacecraft. After activating the integrated console, the previous ID authentication interface had already expired and was automatically closed. Zhou Xiaobo had no choice but to find the air composition adjustment option and reset the previously set content. Then he clicked the OK button twice, and the ID authentication interface appeared on the screen again. Zhou Xiaobo took out Captain Morgan's ID badge and inserted it into the card slot reserved in the console. The size and thickness were just right. Obviously, this card slot was used to insert this kind of ID card.

The next moment, the information displayed on the screen was refreshed. "Identity authentication successful, Captain Didirul Morgan, welcome back to the Purple Moon. The air composition modification has taken effect. The air composition adjustment is in progress and is expected to reach the set data in 30 minutes."

It was not until this time that Qiao Ruida and others knew that this alien spaceship had a name, "Purple Moon". The origin of Purple Moon should be from a satellite of the Naga people's home planet. From the Naga people's film and television works, Qiao Ruida learned that the Naga people's home planet has two satellites, one is blue, called Blue Moon, and the other is purple, called Purple Moon. They are much smaller than the moon on Earth, but they are also one of the symbols of their hometown and home planet in the minds of the Naga people. The Naga people named this spaceship Purple Moon, and their purpose is probably to express their homesickness.

Less than a second after the prompt message appeared, Qiao Ruida and the other two heard the ventilation system hidden in some corner of the hall start to work. New air was blown in, old air was sucked out, and the air pressure increased. Perhaps to speed up the adjustment of air composition, the ventilation system began to operate at full power, making a "humming" fan noise. Qiao Ruida and the other two all lowered their heads and checked the external air monitoring information on the space suits outside the cabin. After just over 20 minutes, the air composition in the flight control hall was no different from that on Earth, or even better than the air on Earth, after all, there were fewer toxic pollutants.

Xie Duanyang was the first to unlock the space suit. He took off the helmet of his space suit, took a deep breath, and exclaimed: "What fresh air! It's like being in a forest on Earth after a heavy rain. It's so fresh and natural."

After waiting for another five minutes and seeing that Xie Duanyang was still alive and well and had no problems at all, Qiao Ruida and Zhou Xiaobo took off their helmets one after another and tried to breathe the air with modified composition in the spacecraft.

"Phew, that's great! From now on, when the Purple Moon conducts excavation work, we won't have to wear these extravehicular space suits anymore. It's so comfortable!"

"Yes, in the future when we work on the Purple Moon, we only need to wear the extravehicular space suit when we leave the lunar base and drill into the ground, and we can take it off after entering the spacecraft. Without the restrictions of the space suit, our hands and feet are more flexible, it is more convenient to work, and our work efficiency can be greatly improved."

This new extravehicular space suit developed by Ruida Aerospace uses a lot of new materials and technologies. Compared with traditional extravehicular space suits, it has improved more than one level in terms of flexibility and lightness. However, no matter how flexible and light a space suit is, it will restrict the astronauts' activities after putting it on, which is far worse than not wearing it. Just like ordinary people put on heavy cotton clothes and trousers in winter to keep warm, their flexibility will be restricted. The effect of putting on an extravehicular space suit is similar to this, and the impact on flexibility will even be greater.

Furthermore, in order to extend the time astronauts spend in outer space, the space suits outside the cabin supply astronauts with pure oxygen, and the air pressure is only about 0.6 atmospheres. This limited breathing method can certainly meet the needs of astronauts, but it is definitely a lie to say that breathing is comfortable. Humans have lived and multiplied on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years, and the entire respiratory system has long been adapted to the Earth's atmospheric environment. Only by breathing air that is strictly adjusted according to the Earth's air ratio can we feel the most comfortable, and feel like we are back in the arms of Mother Earth.

In the following time, Qiao Ruida and the other two conducted a comprehensive exploration of the entire 28th floor. In the spacecraft control hall, you can monitor the spacecraft's energy supply, reserve materials, and the working status of the equipment on each floor, and adjust the air ratio and light intensity. If a certain device is found to be broken, you can also send a robot to repair and replace it. However, the Purple Moon has been parked on the moon for too long, and the current maintenance robots are not in good condition. There are only a few that can operate normally.

The spacecraft driving hall, as the name implies, is where the spacecraft route is planned, the flight status of the spacecraft is controlled, and the flight direction is adjusted. In an emergency, this is also the combat command center. However, the Purple Moon was stranded under the South Pole of the Moon at this time, and one of the three main engines was broken. The functions that the driving hall can use are only one tenth of them. The only thing of some value is the three-dimensional star map, which records the escape route of the Purple Moon for more than 5,000 years, and also marks the details of more than a dozen star systems near the solar system. The information and data contained are quite valuable.

The last optical computer room is where the Naga people's large optical computer hosts are stored. Unlike Earth civilization, which focuses on electronic computers, the Naga people mainly use photon computers for data calculations. This can be seen from the metal card reading devices disassembled by Qiao Ruida. It is difficult to judge which is better between electronic computers and photon computers, but the computing power of the Naga people's optical computer hosts is indeed much higher than that of Earth humans' supercomputers.
